Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire

Posted by timothy on from the how-much-is-that-in-simolians dept.

LehiNephi writes "Cnet reports that Walmart is offering a sub-$500 notebook running Linspire. The specs are less-than impressive: a 1GHz VIA C3 processor, 128 MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, and a plain vanilla CD-ROM. Seems overpriced for what you get, but cheap nonetheless. And yes, it does run Linux."

    So a cheap, but overpriced and underperforming laptop deserve the frontpage because it run Linux? Or maybe its cause its sold at Walmart? I don't get the point... Where are the news for nerds, you know, stuff that matters?
